FIELD GUIDE / THE MEDITERRANEAN

One harbor. A whole new rhythm.

Begin by the water, before the tables fill. Follow the steps into the old streets. Keep the afternoon clear for whatever you discover.
THE WAYFARER APPROACH
One home base. Local trains and walking routes. Plenty of time between plans.

A STARTING POINT, NOT A TIMETABLE

Three days. Space to wander.

DAY ONE

Get your bearings.

Walk from your door to the waterfront. Find a bakery, choose a square, and let a long lunch introduce you to the neighborhood.
DAY TWO

Follow a smaller road.

Take a local route beyond the center. Pack water and something good to eat, then leave time for the return journey.
DAY THREE

Return to a favorite.

Go back to the place that surprised you. Take the photograph, ask the question, and leave with a reason to return.
TRAVEL FOR THE FEELING

A trail and a thermos

Make the walk the main event.
